You are no more than a mist .

That is here for a little while then disappears.
We don’t know even if we truly exist .
And only with his will it clears.
We think today or tomorrow we are off to this town.
Making money and trading .
But it is according to his will that we are up or down.
Dying,   just existing or living.
We never know .
What will happen tomorrow.
Will we diminish or grow.
Be high or low.
How proud we are .
But from our haven we are far.
……..
We are just a mist
Coming and going today
And there’s tomorrow
…….
Polycarp knew not
The Christ just those who knew him
But it was enough
…..
See James 4: 13-17
